The travelling mechanism of clock and watch
Divide an application
The application is that application number is dividing an application of 96196745.5 application for a patent for invention, and the applying date of this application is on June 26th, 1996, and denomination of invention is " travelling mechanisms of clock and watch ".
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of travelling mechanism of clock and watch.
Background technology
From CH-597, the travelling mechanism of 636 known a kind of clock and watch, wherein clockwork spring drives a time pointer and an AC generator by gear train.Electric organ provides voltage to voltage converter circuit, and voltage converter circuit provides voltage to capacity cell, and capacity cell provides voltage to the electronics reference circuit and the electronic control circuit that have stabilized oscillator.Electronic control circuit comprises that a comparator logic circuit links to each other with the output of comparator logic circuit with one and the power consumption circuit of its energy consumption by the control of comparator logic circuit.The input of comparator logic circuit links to each other with the electronics reference circuit, and its another input then links to each other with electric organ.The design of comparator logic circuit is such, and it is compared the clock signal that the electronics reference circuit comes with the clock signal that electric organ comes, and controls the power consumption size of electronic control circuit by the power consumption size of power consumption circuit according to this comparative result.In this mode, comparator circuit is also controlled the action and the motion of control time pointer thus of electric organ by the energy consumption of control control circuit.
But according to CH-597, the power consumption circuit in 636 the clock and watch travelling mechanism can only be controlled by two steps by the comparator logic circuit.That is to say that according to CH-597,636 power consumption circuit is zero or is maximal value.This just means that electric organ can only or be to brake with the strength of maximum, or be not subjected to any power.The thermal agitation that causes travelling mechanism control in the clock and watch travelling mechanism thus.In such a way, the energy efficiency of clock and watch travelling mechanism is relatively poor.
According to CH-597,636 voltage converter circuit is a rectifier.As rectifier, this is more typical in hand clock and watch technology, for example at disclosed GB-A-2 with diode for it, 158,274, EP-A-0,326,312, US-A-4,653,931, EP-A-0,467,667, EP-A-0,326,313, EP-A-0,309,164 and EP-A-0, be not always the case in 241,219.Diode is a passive element.Owing to the threshold voltage of diode, in the whole service time of clock and watch travelling mechanism, reduced the energy efficiency of clock and watch travelling mechanisms as rectifier with diode.
In a kind of clock and watch travelling mechanism that is driven a time pointer and electric organ by clockwork spring by gear train, it is exactly to have only limited energy to be stored in the clockwork spring that a problem is arranged.It is many more to drive the required clockwork spring of clock and watch travelling mechanism, and the motion retention time of clock and watch travelling mechanism is just short more.Necessary driving can be made up of the friction energy of the Mechanical Driven energy of clock and watch travelling mechanism, electric organ and electric energy.The output of the electric energy of electric organ is determined by the energy resource consumption of the power consumption electronic circuit that links to each other with electric organ.Be noted that also the friction energy of electric organ and the voltage of electric organ induction have direct relation.As "ball-park" estimate, induced voltage is big more, and the quality of electric organ rotor also must be big more.But the friction energy of rotor and inertia motion also can increase along with the increase of rotor quality.But it is disadvantageous that bigger rotor inertia mass motion is compared with relative less rotor inertia mass motion.For example, if rotor by a power stop, the bigger motion of inertial mass motion will than inertial mass move less motion when the starting slowly many.If rotor has a bigger inertial mass motion, it is just longer then to reach the required time of its rated speed once more.Therefore have capacity cell to be discharged to be lower than the danger of the required voltage of the electronic component that drives clock and watch at the start-up period of rotor, this danger wants big than the less rotor of inertial mass motion (it quickens very fast thereby can reach its rated speed quickly).
But the big electric energy and the loss of mechanical energy cause the shortening of retention time of moving, or make the clock and watch travelling mechanism that bigger clockwork spring be arranged, thereby make the whole volume of clock and watch travelling mechanism become big.

Embodiment
In Fig. 1, provide with the block scheme form according to the electronic section of clock and watch travelling mechanism of the present invention.One alternating voltage electric organ 1 links to each other by gear train (also not shown) with the clockwork spring (not shown).Gear train drives electric organ 1 and time indicator (not shown).The normal frequency of the alternating voltage of electric organ 1 is preferably 2 nHz, n can be non-vanishing natural numbers.The mechanical part of clock and watch travelling mechanism is a prior art according to the present invention.With CH-597,636 are reference at this.
Electric organ 1 provides electric energy to voltage converter circuit 2.Voltage converter circuit 2 provides electric energy to first capacity cell 10.First capacity cell 10 is to electronics reference circuit 102 that has stabilized oscillator 101 and electronic control circuit power supply.Stable oscillator 101 comprises a quartz resonator 4, and a reference frequency has been determined in its vibration.All capacity cells in quartz resonator 4 and foregoing circuit, voltage converter circuit 2, electronic control circuit and electronics reference circuit 102 are put together as integrated circuit 11.In another embodiment, capacity cell also is integrated in the integrated circuit 11.
Electronic control circuit comprises a comparator logic circuit 6.An input of comparator logic circuit 6 links to each other with electronics reference circuit 102, and another input then links to each other with electric organ 1 with exclusive-OR circuit 8 by the comparator stage 7 that detects the alternating voltage commutation.Exclusive-OR circuit 8 is actually a memory buffer, and it prevents that pulse is input to two input ends of comparator logic circuit 6 simultaneously.In addition, electronic control circuit comprises a power consumption circuit 9, itself and the output of comparator logic circuit 6, and control its power consumptions by comparator logic circuit 6.
Power consumption circuit 9 is made of the resistance of a plurality of similar resistance.The size of a resistance is less than the resistance that produces when all resistance series connection.Comparator logic circuit 6 is being controlled the power consumption of the circuit 9 that consumes energy, and it changes the resistance number that switches in current path, and the power consumption of electronic control circuit can be controlled continuously by the resistance number in predetermined value scope.
Power consumption circuit 9 can also be made as a controllable current source.
Comparator logic circuit 6 will be compared with the clock signal of electric organ 1 from the clock signal of electronics reference circuit 102.According to this comparative result, comparator logic circuit 6 is controlled the power consumption size of electronic control circuit by the control of power consumption circuit 9 power consumption sizes.In such a way, by the control to the control circuit power consumption, the operation of electric organ 1 and the operation of time indicator all are under control.It is synchronous according to the reference frequency of pattern of wanting and quartz resonator 4 that this control is designed to the operation of time indicator.
Comparator logic circuit 6 has a counter, its counting read with electric organ 1 and electronics reference circuit 102 between speed or periodic inequality consistent.The power consumption of actual energy consumption circuit 9 reads according to the counting of counter and controls.According to the state of counter, power consumption circuit 9 consumes more or less electric energy, gives the more or less load of electric organ thus.Each counting read value is assigned to the combination of the predetermined effective resistance in the power consumption circuit 9.This means comparator logic circuit 6 can according to the counting read value will consume energy resistance in the circuit 9 independent or with various array modes switch into or switch and active path.This has considered that also aforementioned resistance is switched situation into active path at one or more counting read value neither ones.
But the restriction that is subjected to of control is, when reaching specific counting read value, the counting of electric organ pulse is interrupted.This is necessary especially, and purpose is for all electronic component non-fault ground that make the clock and watch travelling mechanism start, and considers the situation that clockwork spring tightens after the clock and watch travelling mechanism stops fully again.If comparator logic circuit 6 and power consumption circuit 9 cooperate as follows, the power consumption of circuit 9 of promptly consuming energy remains a minimum value in preset count read value scope (for example 0 to 16), and when exceeding the scope of counting read value thereafter power consumption by with the linearly proportional variation of counting read value.In the example that proposes, this will mean that to the counting that surpasses 16 power consumption of power consumption circuit 9 will increase with the counting read value that increases linearly proportionally, and reduce with the counting read value that reduces linearly proportionally.Power consumption circuit 9 in above-mentioned counting read range power consumption minimized a result, promptly the rotor of electric organ 1 can quicken under for example by the situation of pressure stop and not postpone.Owing to toply in to the explanation of rotor inertia mass motion, discuss, thisly accelerate to rated speed as far as possible without delay and apace people wanted just.
In order to make control further stable, step-by-step counting can be interrupted by the specific least count of a counter.
The travelling mechanism of clock and watch also comprises an assembly that is used for according to meter reading indication clock and watch travelling mechanism energy storage.Its indication realizes by a LCD.
Electronics reference circuit 102 comprises a frequency division electrical equipment 5, its be connected in stabilized oscillator 101 and and the line of electronic control circuit between.This frequency dividing circuit 5 is pressed the mode frequency division of setting with the reference frequency of quartz resonator 4, to realize more simple time indication synchronously.
As seen, voltage converter circuit 2 is carried out the function of rectifier and voltage tripler from Fig. 2 to Fig. 4.
One first diode 14 is connected with the electric organ 1 and first capacity cell 10.One first switch 19 is in parallel with first diode 14, but connects with the electric organ 1 and first capacity cell 10.First switch 19 is subjected to the active control of first comparer 21.
Voltage converter circuit also comprises a voltage tripler, and its input side is coupled mutually with electric organ 1, and the parallel circuit of its load-side and first capacity cell 10 and first switch 19 and first diode 14 is coupled.First capacity cell 10 that the load end of voltage tripler is relative with same first diode, 14 positions is connected on ground junction 22 together.
First comparer 21 is compared the current potential of non-earthy first capacity cell, 10 contacts with the current potential of non-earthy voltage tripler load end.19 on first switch can drive first comparer 21 and cut out by first comparer 21 when the current potential of the earth-free link of voltage tripler load-side is high enough to first capacity cell further charged at first capacity cell 10.
First switch 19 is first field effect transistors, and its connection makes the part in its its structure of closed condition play first diode 14.
Clockwork spring, gear train, electric organ 1, voltage conversion circuit 2 and electronic control circuit be designed so that electric organ 1 till the starting of clock and watch travelling mechanism is charged to a predetermined value to first capacity cell 10 during in, its running speed greater than its rated speed.In such a way, at first, the charging of first capacity cell 10 is finished by first diode 14.
Be enough to drive first comparer and drive arrangement and be 0.6V in this embodiment at the magnitude of voltage of first capacity cell 10 of second comparer 20 of voltage tripler (below will illustrate more fully).The pressure drop of first diode 14 is 400mV.First capacity cell one is charged to 0.8V at least, finishes its function with just realizing electronics reference circuit 102 and electronic circuit non-fault.First comparer, 21 closed first switches 19, promptly the voltage of in a single day being sent here by voltage tripler is higher than the voltage of first capacity cell 10, just disconnects first field effect transistor.But pressure drop has only 10mV between the raceway groove of first field effect transistor.The loss of voltage has reduced significantly.In case when the voltage that voltage tripler comes dropped to the voltage that is lower than first capacity cell 10, first comparer 21 was with regard to closed first field effect transistor.If when the voltage that voltage tripler comes was raised to sufficiently high value once more, first comparer 21 disconnected first field effect transistor once more, and so on.10 start-up periods at the clock and watch travelling mechanism of first capacity cell charge by first diode 14, and have the big loss of voltage.Along with the operation of travelling mechanism, only by the raceway groove charging of first field effect transistor, this is than by 14 chargings of first diode tangible power savings advantage being arranged for first capacity cell 10.In this way, the energy storage of clock and watch travelling mechanism can be used more economically, and the time of walking about of clock and watch also can prolong.
According to the present situation of prior art, can not make the micro electric generator of an induced voltage greater than 1.6V.This means that voltage converter circuit 2 must the voltage multiplication function of execution except that rectification function.The voltage-multiplying circuit that the front has been mentioned just is used for realizing this voltage multiplication function.In the present embodiment, voltage multiplying circuit is a voltage tripler.Fig. 2 to shown in Figure 4 be three embodiment of voltage tripler.
In this voltage-multiplying circuit, there is aforesaid voltage drop problem between required diode.This problem is solved by the similarity method at 14 voltage drop problem of first diode in embodiment shown in Figure 4 at Fig. 2.The second and the 3rd capacity cell 15,16 is connected with electric organ 1, and electric organ 1 is between second capacity cell 15 and three element 16.The first embodiment (see figure 2) of voltage tripler also comprises the parallel circuit of one second diode and a second switch 17 and the parallel circuit of one the 3rd diode 23 and one the 3rd switch 18.The parallel circuit of second diode 12 and second switch 17 is series between load one side terminal of electric organ one side terminal of second capacity cell 15 and the 3rd capacity cell 16.The parallel circuit of the 3rd diode 23 and the 3rd switch 18 is series between electric organ one side of the 3rd capacity cell 16 and second capacity cell, 15 loads, one side.Second comparer, 20 controls the second and the 3rd switch of briefly mentioning above 17,18.First embodiment of voltage tripler also comprises one the 4th diode 14, and it is series between the second and the 3rd capacity cell 15,16 load ends.
Second, third has identical conducting direction with the 4th diode 12,23,13, and 14 of first diodes connect into opposite conducting direction.Second comparer 20 is compared with the current potential of the line of second capacity cell 15 electric organ 1 with the current potential of the 3rd capacity cell 16 face terminals.When the current potential that the second and/or the 3rd switch 17 and 18 only is enough to drive second comparer 20 and electric organ 1 and provides at the voltage of first capacity cell 10 is high enough to 15,16 chargings of the second or the 3rd capacity cell by second comparer, 20 closures.
Second switch 17 is one second field effect transistors, and the 3rd switch 18 is one the 3rd field effect transistors.The connection of second field effect transistor makes that the part of its structure plays 12 uses of second diode when its closure state.The switching of the 3rd field effect transistor makes that the part of its structure plays 23 uses of the 3rd diode when its closure state.
Second field effect transistor and the 3rd field effect transistor are closed in clock and watch travelling mechanism starting back.The charging of second capacity cell 15 and the 3rd capacity cell 16 realizes by second, third and the 4th diode 12,23,13.Second comparer 20 reaches the voltage of voltage ratio the 3rd capacity cell 16 that minimum 0.8V and electric organ 1 send here at the voltage of first capacity cell 10 and disconnects second field effect transistor and the 3rd field effect transistor when high.Thereafter, the charging of the second and the 3rd capacity cell 15,16 is realized by second field effect transistor and the 3rd field effect transistor.The minimizing of the loss of voltage is the same with above-mentioned minimizing at the loss of voltage from first diode to first field effect transistor.In a similar manner, the disconnection of the second and the 3rd field effect transistor and closed by 20 realizations of second comparer.If when dropping to the voltage that is lower than the 3rd capacity cell 16 by the voltage of electric organ 1, second comparer, 20 closed the second and the 3rd field effect transistors.If when rising to the voltage that is higher than the 3rd capacity cell 16 by the voltage of electric organ 1, the second and the 3rd field effect transistor disconnects, and that is to say that the second and the 3rd switch 17,18 is closed.Compare with pure diode purposes, realized also that in voltage tripler the economy of clock and watch travelling mechanism energy storage is used, increased the energy storage capacity of travelling mechanism thus.
Shown in Figure 3 is second embodiment of voltage tripler, and opposite with first embodiment, the circuit branch that contains the 4th diode 13 has not had.Because the 4th diode 13 is not essential for the function that realizes voltage tripler, second embodiment of voltage tripler also makes voltage converter circuit 2 can realize its function reliably.Certainly, each diode must be fit to actual circuit environment.This 3rd embodiment for voltage tripler shown in Figure 4 also is the same, and the latter just has the circuit branch that contains the 4th diode 13, but does not contain the circuit branch of second diode 12 and the 3rd diode 23.The 4th embodiment of voltage tripler only substitutes the parallel circuit of second diode 12 and second switch 17 among voltage tripler first embodiment with independent second switch 17, or under the possible situation, only substitute the parallel circuit of the 3rd diode 23 and the 3rd switch 18 with the 3rd independent switch 18.
Also can replace above-mentioned voltage tripler with voltage-multiplying circuit.In this case, must guarantee that voltage converter circuit 2 can finish its function from the minimum peak voltage 0.5V of electric organ by selecting corresponding electronic component.
Can also provide a controlled voltage-multiplying circuit to replace the voltage-multiplying circuit that the output voltage of electric organ 1 is increased to a fixed value.
Regulation voltage converter circuit 2 and electronic control circuit are so that the power consumption of power consumption circuit 9 all is a minimum value when any one is recharged in capacity cell 10,15,16.
In addition, voltage converter circuit 2 and electronic control circuit are designed to consume energy the power consumption of circuit 9 regularly with 3 * 10 -2The interval of second keeps 5 * 10 -4The minimum value of second is so that comparer 20,22 is realized and the corresponding current potential of its function compares.Promptly, if during the electric organ load surpasses the electric organ minimum load, carried out current potential relatively, then comparer 20,21 will error result occur with regard to capacity cell 10,15,16 charging possibilities, because they will detect the electric organ voltage that reduces at minimum load owing to electric organ voltage.
